If Ayla had shown even a little discomfort, he could have kept hanging around to get under her skin. But she truly didn\u2019t care.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now that she no longer cared, nothing he did would affect her anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It would only make him look even more pathetic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla ignored him and decided to go out for a walk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as she stood up, she saw Draven coming out of the elevator.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Behind him were Will, Shawn, and Winnie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Draven saw Ayla, glanced at Troy, and then at the empty plates from breakfast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did they have breakfast together?\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as that thought hit him, Draven forced himself to stop overthinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla noticed the stormy look on Draven\u2019s face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked upset, obviously because Troy was here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla hadn\u2019t felt guilty at all before, but seeing Draven\u2019s face, she suddenly wondered if she\u2019d done something wrong and made him unhappy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as that thought appeared, Ayla pushed it aside. She didn\u2019t need to reflect or explain anything. Troy had shown up uninvited. It had nothing to do with her. She didn\u2019t owe anyone, including Draven, an apology for Troy\u2019s weird behavior.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Otherwise, she\u2019d fall right back into her old habits of trying to please everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven was good to her, and she treated him well in return-but there was a limit to it. Always trying to please someone, in any relationship, was just wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla didn\u2019t bother with Troy\u2019s gloomy look and walked up to Draven. \u201cMr. Storm, where are you going?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven looked into Ayla\u2019s eyes. He didn\u2019t answer directly, but he glanced past her, staring at Troy from a\u00a0<\/p>\n
distance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That look was ice-cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked like a predator guarding his territory-deadly serious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It lasted just a second or two before Draven looked away. When he turned to Ayla again, his eyes showed nothing unusual.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His voice was cool and calm, just as always. \u201cWe are going back to Trensea.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ayla had been wondering what to do with her day, but now, she didn\u2019t have to think about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven waited on the lobby couch while she packed her things. Aside from that single look earlier, he never glanced at Troy again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy didn\u2019t leave, either. He just stayed there in the restaurant, his expression looking grimmer than ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Other guests stayed as far as they could from the two men.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shawn kept looking back and forth between Draven and Troy, over and over, feeling like the atmosphere between them was suffocating. He didn\u2019t dare ask Draven anything, sensing it would spark trouble.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shawn slid over to Will and whispered, \u201cAre they always like this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will said, \u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey hardly ever see each other.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what\u2019s with all this today? Is it because of Ms. Keaton?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, not really.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Storm doesn\u2019t have any real feelings for Ayla. Even if it\u2019s about her, it\u2019s just because he\u2019s worried Troy might hurt her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Keaton is an employee of Storm Group. Draven\u2019s the type to protect his people, so he has to step up for her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shawn was stunned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luke had come for revenge on his cruise, and it was clear Draven had pushed him out as the scapegoat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As a friend, Shawn didn\u2019t mind helping.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the truth was, Draven didn\u2019t even like those wild cruise parties, so if he came all this way, it had to be for Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If he didn\u2019t care about her, he wouldn\u2019t have brought her along himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Draven didn\u2019t like Ayla, then why go to such lengths?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just because Ayla was his secretary, did he have to take care of her like this? It didn\u2019t make sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven rarely showed interest in anyone. If he ever asked Shawn how he was doing, Shawn would probably cry from joy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What the hell? After all these years as friends, I am actually less important than his secretary?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shawn was honestly confused. He put a hand on Will\u2019s shoulder, leaned in, and said, \u201cBe straight with me. Does Draven actually like Ms. Keaton? I need to know how to act around her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will replied, \u201cNo matter how Mr. Storm feels about Ayla, you should treat her with respect.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not saying I wouldn\u2019t. I just want to know how much respect I should put in. If Draven likes Ms. Keaton, I\u2019ll treat her like a queen. If he doesn\u2019t, I\u2019ll just treat her like any other friend.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe doesn\u2019t like her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cReally?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cReally,\u201d Will replied. \u201cMr. Storm almost never likes anyone. You know that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shawn quickly said, \u201cThat\u2019s great. To be honest, Ms. Keaton is amazing. I have a friend who wants to know her. Could you help set it up?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou came here just for that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I\u2019m a helpful guy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will looked speechless. \u201cI\u2019ll ask Ayla when I get a chance, but not right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, right. Ms. Keaton just got divorced. She\u2019ll need some time. But you have to help me out later. I\u2019m not saying they have to end up together or anything. I just need you to make an introduction and let them meet. If there\u2019s no spark, they can just be friends.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will paused for a long time before saying, \u201cFine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s more like it.\u201d Shawn had seen plenty of beautiful women, but Ayla\u2019s cool presence and stunning looks put her near the top. She was never lacking in admirers. Even compared to all the heiresses around Draven, she didn\u2019t fall short.\u00a0<\/p>\n
